Shah Rukh Khan started off by taking the road rarely traveled- playing highly risky anti-hero figures, characters really far from our conventional ideas of hero and yet won our hearts with his freshness and vigor. And just when we thought we had a grip on our familiarity with him, he turned the tables like no one else, revamping himself as the ‘King of Romance’ and becoming the poster-boy of wholesome Bollywood entertainment for years to come, even playing a monumental role in the growing popularity of Hindi Cinema on a global level. As Shah Rukh Khan completes 30 glorious years in cinema, Firstpost attempts to make sense of his magic and contribution to our lives, through 30 scenes and moments from his films where we find Khan to be at his very best, and which we believe deserve far...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A sustainable outdoor shoe company, HOLO Footwear, is headed to Grand Rapids to begin expanding their operations. The company started in Portland, Oregon, but plans to move their headquarters to West Michigan to open e-commerce operations in the area.

Saucony’s new Tempus defies easy categorization. Is it a stability shoe? Yes; it provides strong foot support and guidance when you need it. Is it a speedy, lightweight, cushioned trainer and racer? Again, yes; it weighs in at under nine ounces, wraps the foot with a svelte, stretchy hold, and delivers a smooth, plush, propulsive ride. Few running shoes manage to excel in all of these categories. The Tempus’s peppy underfoot feel stems from a full-length midsole of Pwrrun PB, an ultralight, high-cushioning, and maximum-rebounding polyether block amide–based foam (PEBA). Saucony uses this same foam to power the Endorphin Pro, its top-end, carbon-plated, marathon-racing super shoe, and the Endorphin Speed, a popular up-tempo training shoe.

The Shimano RC7 is the second road cycling shoe in the brand’s pecking order behind the premium Shimano S-Phyre RC902. Overall, Shimano has tinkered with, rather than overhauled, the latest version of the RC7, but that’s largely no bad thing. The sole is more flexible and the Boa dials are less sophisticated than on the pricier S-Phyre RC902s, being only adjustable one way. The insole doesn’t come with the S-Phyre RC902’s adjustable arch inserts. But the RC7 does have the S-Phyre RC902’s wraparound closure system, and it remains a brilliant all-round road cycling shoe at £130 less. Shimano RC7 shoe specs and options Boa dials form part of the RC7’s solid spec. Steve Sayers / Our Media The RC7 carbon fibre composite sole registers at 10/12 on Shimano’s own stiffness index. ...
